How do you organise crochet stuff and wool?

[Yoyoyo1]

I have a sewing box with amigurami stuff in but everything ends up in piles everywhere! Where do put your work in progress?

Have a look on Pinterest, they have loads of ideas. If you have several amigurumi on the go, i'd use a zip lock bag for each so you can write the pattern, hook size etc. on the bag, and keep it all together.

Then use a bag for life, crate etc. to store the zip locks in. This is what I try to do, but I'm rubbish at Amigurumi / small hook work, so I have WIP blankets, which don't fold up so small.

In bags behind the sofa 😂

Which probably isn't what you want to hear.

i do have a lot of my yarn stash boxed up in the loft. It's in clear boxes by the hatch so I can easily pop my head up and find the right box.

In bags, small WIPs go in those net bags you can buy for fruit and veg in supermarkets, bigger ones in all the canvas totes that seem to breed in our house. Then either in a big basket in the living room or coat hooks somewhere else.

Thank you

This is a timely thread. I’ve just moved from a house that had a massive cupboard for craft stuff to one that has almost nowhere to put it all

In ikea kallax
I have a drawer for unused wool, a drawer for left over balls, a drawer for hooks/yarn swift/knitting needles/stuffing/buttons etc and one for WIPs

In different places around the house, because no one bit of storage I own is big enough to contain my yarn stash and knitting and crochet equipment. And that's without even mentioning the spinning wheel and its accessories . I basically need a whole craft room! Or at the very least a whole wall full of storage. Not going to happen though!

Oh - and I often buy at wool warehouse who send the wool in these nice bags so I keep the WIPs and their hooks in one of those

As for my spare yarn, that is in plastic crates in the bottom of my wardrobe. Hooks and accessories are in a drawer of my bedside cabinet.

Several Really Useful Boxes- large. Wool from aunts house.
Several tote bags of different unfinished projects or not yet started projects. Those large bags x3 for Felting wool...don’t start Felting. It breeds more!

I now have DDs small bedroom. Shelving, one kallax x 6 soft boxes.
I paint, sew, knit, crochet ( basic), Lino printing, jewellery, card making, stamping and several other crafts. I don’t do it enough and I need never buy anything for about 3 years and finish what I have or get rid of it. Oh and the magazines.

i sympathasise. Oh and I am old so that is my excuse. I have a friend who has three sheds full. She spins. She is more dedicated than I am and produces stuff to sell.

I have a kallax unit for all the yarn. I have once of the yarn organiser bags for WIPS and I keep all the regularly used tools and accessories in there.

You know those plastic bags that are squarish in shape, had sheets or whatever inside and a zip around 3 sides? Well that what I’ve taken to using. I’m not crocheting much, just nest things for animal rescue, but they keep everything very contained.
